Jam Cookies (Heart Shaped)

Ingredients:

Basic Cookie dough            
Jam                                          - 3 tblspoon ( I used 3 berry Jam)
Chocolate hearts                      - 6 (3 white 3 dark chocolate)
Glaze                                       - 1 tspoon butter 2 tspoon milk


Method:

Take out your cookie dough from the fridge and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Now roll the cookie dough in between parchment paper for about 5 inch round and 3cm thick.

Now take a cookie cutter, I used heart shaped, and cut the cookies from the rolled out dough. I cut out 12 shapes to make 6 cookies, as these will be sandwich cookies.

Now keep 6 whole shapes for the base of the cookie.
Cut out the heart shape from the other 6 cookies to make heart shape border for the upper layer of the cookie. Please refer the pictures.

Now place the 6 base cookies on a baking sheet.

Polish them with the glaze.

Now lay down the border cookies over these bases.

Polish them with the glaze again. Fill them with the choice of jam.
Now keep them in the fridge for 30-40 minutes. You can leave them overnight in the fridge.
Just before baking the cookies pre-heat your oven to 180 c and bake the cookies 15 minutes or the sides starts to get golden.
Once cookies cool down completely put the chocolate hearts as an extra treat for your kids.
These cookies go very well with milk and shakes.
